LinkedIn Recommendations

Make sure the recommendation finishes with a sense of enthusiasm and resolution. Readers shouldn't be left scratching their heads wondering what happened to the rest of the post.

If you don't know exactly what this reference will be used for (or whether your colleague may one day change careers), focus on professional behaviors valued by all employers.

Begin with a very brief background of how you know the person. There is usually no need to be verbose because a reader can check your profile to see more details about you.

Think of groups as places for discussions between individuals. Use groups to talk about current events and anything you're looking for individual opinions on. Use your company page as a tool for engaging with your followers and sharing news, company information, and helpful pieces of content.

4-5 updates a day to keep the content fresh on page, but the recommended number will depend on what works for your business you may need less, you may need more. As you post, remember that maintaining quality and value for your followers should be your number one goal.

You can be the administrator of more than one company page. In order to do this, you must be associated with the company in your current job section on your personal LinkedIn profile, and have a company email address that is a unique domain.

Sponsored update is a new form of native advertising on LinkedIn that allows you to extend your reach and share your best content with your target audience through their news feed, and across smartphone, desktop, and tablet devices.

Having a company page does not mean you have a business account on LinkedIn, which will allow you to create ads and sponsored updates.
